Is it possible to use modern Israel as proof of God's existence? Recently a friend posed me that interesting question. As he noted, most Christian apologists currently debating atheists tend to be amillennial (and postmillennial). Therefore it wouldn't be natural for them to use events such as Israel's restoration in … [Read more...]
Ashamed of Dispensational Bible Prophecy
Are you ashamed of dispensational Bible prophecy? Or are you one of those proud prophecy kooks who love Israel? I like to think I'm the latter. Unfortunately there's pressure on Christians to keep their interest in Bible prophecy and Israel to themselves. My introduction to prophecy occurred when I was around six … [Read more...]
The Perpetual Israel Palestinian Conflict
There has been another Israeli-Palestinian flare up. So what's new? No one ought to be surprised. There were talks of peace during the Trump Administration. That didn't last. Predictable and Empowered The most recent conflagration was inevitable. The US admin taking over from Donald Trump's predictably … [Read more...]
On Jews and Credit Card Identity Theft
On Jews and Credit Card Identity Theft - I know that's a weird title to an article. But stay with me. This is more about the Jews than credit cards. Imagine that someone steals your credit card. You get statements from your bank detailing purchases you never made. Someone has taken over your identity. You are still … [Read more...]
Can We Trust Prophecy?
Can we trust prophecy? Some people caution against it. Over the years there have been various attacks mounted on the study of prophecy. Many of these have focused on recent infamous (and failed) predictions of Christ's Second Coming made by certain individuals. During the course of time there have been spectacular … [Read more...]

According to the Bible, as I understand it, national Israel will always be Israel. This is despite the employment of theological terms to suggest otherwise. National Israel will always be Israel, not the church pretending to be a better, more spiritual version. Israel failed in many areas. But what can we honestly say … [Read more...]
Another Peace Plan Boat Floats down the River
And so another Peace Plan Boat Floats down the River. It was a long time coming, with speculation aplenty about the "Deal of the Century". Is it headed for the same ghost-ship harbor where all the other plans have ended up? I'm not optimistic. In fact I'll wager it was dead in the water even before the details … [Read more...]
Cursing and Robbing Israel
It seems this world is forever cursing and robbing Israel in some way or other. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gen 12:3 Perhaps it's just me, but the King James language's authoritative tone captures this warning better … [Read more...]
Israel Punching Bag
The corporation I once worked for drummed into us the inevitability of change: "Get used to it." They meant company re-structures. Some things never change, though. Israel will always be a punching bag. Maybe it was because it was around the time of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. But I was seeing an … [Read more...]
Anti-Semitism, the Jews and Israel
What's the connection between anti-Semitism, the Jews and criticism of Israel? Read the following words very slowly and repeat as often as necessary: It's the Jews! The world hates Jews. It will concoct any excuse and any conspiracy theory to hate them. History is full of such examples. They hate Israel because it … [Read more...]
